We now have around 25 teams signed up to take the Charity Challenge, made up of groups of Year 12 students from around the island – a great number! The next stage will be for these teams to meet representatives from the Isle of Man based charities at the ‘Meet the Charities’ day at St Ninian’s Church on Wednesday 12th October. Teams from each school will have an allocated time to visit this event and ask the charities questions to help them to decide which charity they would like to represent. When the teams have found out which charity they will be representing they can then start to fundraise for that charity and start thinking about how to prepare a lively, creative, original, multi-media presentation about the work of that charity.

I look forward to seeing you all there!
